likefunbutnot:My real-life social circle includes a bunch of strippers. I've never in my entire life heard six of those songs though I think the Nine Inch Nails song is on approximately hourly rotation.

Since I usually see my friends right as the place is opening, what I like to do is find the most weird and inappropriate things for girls to dance to. One recent example: "The Terrible Secret of Space."

I do not go to strip clubs, but if I were so inclined to do the same, I think I'd go with The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald.

I'm familiar with that band and those songs, but I've never seen that artwork.

And I own every KC album up until at least a few years ago.

Weird.

And I've never heard Crimson in a strip club although there's a story that I've heard about Robert Fripp staying in a hotel one time and turning on some cheap-ass soft porn movie and they were using Lark's Tongue in Aspic (presumably part 2) as a soundtrack.

Needless to say he was not pleased that someone was ripping his music off without giving him royalties.

Speaking of KC stories, my favorite one is where a guy in a wheelchair went to a KC show. They wheeled him right up to the front and Fripp made sure he got a good spot and he sat there and enjoyed the show and when it was over he leaped out of his wheelchair and yelled "Robert Fripp has healed me!" And ran out of the concert hall with a tape deck that he had used to record it.

I dunno if that's actually true, but it's a fun story. Fripp hates bootleggers almost as much as he hates record companies.

CSB:About 15 years ago, my buddy was DJ'ing at a strip club in Center City Philadelphia, and I was there as his "assistant." New girl, first few days in the business, had just started working there. Customarily, the girls would give a few of their tips to the DJ, not a lot, just maybe $5-$10 per set. This girl wasn't having any of it. "I'm the one dancing out there, why should I give you any of my money." So after three sets with no tip he told her to just pay attention to her next set and she'd see why tipping the DJ is important.

Next set he made her dance to The Peanuts theme -"Linus and Lucy" from the Charlie Brown Christmas Album. 3 times.Obviously she tipped him after that.
